Sonic Adventure

Centuries ago, the Gods bestowed upon the planet seven Chaos Emeralds. These emeralds were a source of absolute power. However, absolute power corrupts absolutely - and it did not take long before wars broke out over who would control the Chaos Emeralds' seemingly unlimited power. This angered the Gods, and so, they created one singular Master Emerald, who's powers could control and neutralize the Chaos Emeralds. And with the Master Emerald, came a single guardian - known only as "Chaos", the God of Destruction. It is said that a single tribe of Echidnas angered Chaos by attempting to steal the Chaos Emeralds, and were all but completely destroyed within a single night, and Chaos was never seen again.

In present day, the nefarious Doctor Robotnik learns of the legend surrounding Chaos. Believing it to be true, he seeks out the Master Emerald and shatters it, freeing Chaos in the process. Dr. Robotnik's goal is to control Chaos, and use its destructive powers to conquer the world. When Sonic the Hedgehog learns of this, he and his friends spring in to action to stop Eggman — but none of them know the whole story behind Chaos and his entrapment within the Master Emerald. Slowly, through many visits from an Echidna spirit named Tikal, they learn that she had befriended Chaos, and that night, when the Echidna tribe attempted to take the Chaos Emeralds, she sealed both herself and Chaos within the Master Emerald to ensure Chaos would not destroy the world with his rage. Now that Chaos has been freed, Tikal begs Sonic to seal him in to the Master Emerald once again. Sonic disagrees — being trapped within the Master Emerald will not stop Chaos' rage, it will just fuel it. Using the power of the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic, Sonic fights Chaos, and Chaos is defeated — his rage neutralized by the overwhelming power of virtue. With the world saved, Tikal and Chaos depart for parts unknown.

Sonic Adventure 2

The main game theme is the fight between hero and evil. To show both sides of the story, two teams are playable: the Hero and Dark teams. Each side has a Racing, a Treasure Hunting and a Shooting character, and thus each character has a rival counterpart in the other team. The Hero team is Sonic (Racing), Tails (Shooting), and Knuckles (Treasure Hunting). The Dark team is Shadow (Racing), Dr. Eggman (Shooting), and Rouge (Treasure Hunting).

Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series)

 The show takes place on a planet called Mobius. An evil, fat, bald, dark-eyed and mustachioed scientist named Dr. Julian Ivo Robotnik (Jim Cummings) with his pet robot chicken Cluck invaded and conquered a huge and beautiful city named Mobotropolis, with the help of his intelligent but craven assistant and nephew Snively (Charlie Adle) and his army of laser-toting robot soldiers called SWATbots. Julian then used a giant airship called the Destroyer to turn Mobotropolis into a new city renamed Robotropolis, a polluted city of factories and warehouses.

Julian soon invaded the castle home of the city's king Maximillian Acorn (Tim Curry) and exiled him to a dimensional warp known as "The Void." Julian then takes over the palace and makes it his own personal headquarters, and captures the rest of the citizens, including a brainy old hedgehog named Sir Charles Hedgehog (William Windom) and his dog Muttski, and used a machine called the roboticizerrobot slaves. Those who managed to escape retreated into the Great Forest to build a village named Knothole to hide from Robotnik. Among the youngest of the citizens were a group called the Freedom Fighters. First there's Sonic the Hedgehog (Jaleel White), Charles' speedy nephew. Then there is his best friend Tails (Bradley Pierce), a young two-tailed fox who can twirl his tails to fly. Next, there's Rotor (Mark Ballou/Cam Brainard), a walrus with a knack for machines. Next, Antoine (Rob Paulsen), a French coyote with many personality flaws who was a palace guard. Next is Bunnie Rabbot (Christine Cavanaugh), a pretty southern cyborg rabbit who would almost certainly have been completely roboticized if not for Sonic (as it were though, only her left arm and legs were roboticized). Last is the group's leader, Princess Sally Acorn (Kath Soucie), the king's only daughter, who is a squirrel like her father. Sally carries a mini-computer named Nicole. to turn them in to

For 10 years, the Freedom Fighters constantly foiled Robotnik's schemes. In the show's second season, a winged female dragon named Dulcy (Cree Summer) was a new star. Dulcy can breathe fire and ice. Dulcy's mother Sabina was captured and roboticized along with most her species. The show went up to 2 seasons and it got cancelled after the final episode, "The Doomsday Project" ended with a cliffhanger (suggesting a new villain for season three... it was subsequently revealed that it would have been a sorcerer from a previous episode, named Ixis Naugus). There were rumors of a third season but it never aired.

A DVD of five first-season episodes was available from DiC and Lions Gate Home Entertainment under the title Sonic the Hedgehog: Super Sonic. However, this was pulled when Buena Vista claimed to have distribution rights to the series.
